Definitions
- the present invention relates to an anti-theft steering column assembly, in particular for a motor vehicle.
- an anti-theft device in particular for a motor vehicle, motorcycle and the like, which comprises for example a column body provided with '' an anti-theft bolt mechanism movable between a retracted position and an active position.
- a steering shaft is disposed in this column body, one end of this shaft being adapted to carry the vehicle steering wheel while the other end of this is connected to the rest of the vehicle steering mechanism .
- a locking sleeve is arranged around this shaft and is for example welded or screwed thereon.
- This sleeve has a locking light in which the bolt of the anti-theft mechanism engages, in the active position, to block the shaft in rotation relative to the column body.
- the key from the anti-theft bolt mechanism When the user removes, for example, the key from the anti-theft bolt mechanism, the latter is released and engages in the lumen of the sleeve, to lock the shaft in position relative to the body and prevent any driving of the vehicle.
- the steering shaft turns in the sleeve, this rotation being braked by the means of friction coupling interposed between this sleeve and this shaft, in order to avoid any excessive degradation of this column assembly, while preventing normal driving of the vehicle.
- the sleeve comprises at least one locking lumen and corrugated friction coupling rings are arranged at the ends of this sleeve and mounted under stress between the sleeve and the shaft.
- this structure also has a certain number of drawbacks, since the guide of the sleeve on the shaft and the resumption of the forces between this sleeve and this shaft are done through these rings, which poses a certain number of maintenance problems. in position of the sleeve.
- the object of the invention is therefore to solve these problems by proposing a set of steering column of the type mentioned above, which is simple, reliable and in which the holding in position of the sleeve is optimized.
- the subject of the invention is an anti-theft steering column assembly, in particular for a motor vehicle, of the type comprising a column body provided with an anti-theft bolt mechanism, movable between a retracted position and an active position. and in which is disposed a steering shaft, one end of which carries a steering wheel and the other end of which is connected to the rest of the steering mechanism of the vehicle, and around which is disposed an anti-theft sleeve comprising locking means adapted to cooperate with the bolt of the anti-theft mechanism in the active position, to block the shaft in rotation relative to the column body and friction coupling means interposed between this sleeve and the shaft to allow a braked rotation of the shaft in relation to the sleeve, beyond a limit torque applied to the shaft in order to limit the degradation of the shaft, the sleeve and / or the bolt during flight attempts, charac terized in that the sleeve has a stepped axial recess of which a first portion,
- the friction coupling means comprise at least one friction ring mounted under stress between the shaft and the wall of the sleeve delimiting the second recess portion of the latter.
- an antitheft steering column assembly in particular for a motor vehicle, of the prior art, comprises a column body designated by the general reference 1 in this figure.
- This body is provided with an anti-theft bolt mechanism 2, movable between a retracted position and an active position.
- a steering shaft 4 is disposed in the column body, one end of this shaft being adapted to carry a steering wheel and the other being connected to the rest of the vehicle steering mechanism.
- An anti-theft sleeve designated by the general reference 5 in this figure is arranged around the shaft and is fixed thereon for example by welding.
- This sleeve comprises locking means, constituted in the embodiment represented by a light 6, adapted to cooperate with the bolt of the anti-theft mechanism in the active position, to block the shaft in rotation relative to the column body.
- the locking sleeve 5 comprising the locking light 6 adapted to cooperate with the bolt, is coupled to the steering shaft 4 by means of friction coupling means , interposed between the latter and the shaft to allow a braked rotation of the shaft with respect to the sleeve, beyond a limit torque applied to the shaft, in order to limit damage.
- these friction coupling means consist for example of corrugated friction rings arranged at the ends of the sleeve and designated by the general references 7 and 8 in this figure.
- These rings are advantageously mounted under stress between the sleeve 5 and the shaft 4 and are arranged in grooves 9 and 10 thereof.
- Fig.3 there is shown a part of a first embodiment of a column assembly according to the invention, the other members of this assembly being similar to those shown in Fig.1 and 2.
- the anti-theft sleeve is designated by the general reference 11 and the steering shaft by the general reference 12.
- This sleeve always includes locking means adapted to cooperate with the bolt of the anti-theft mechanism in the active position thereof, to block this sleeve in rotation relative to the column body.
- these locking means are formed by axial grooves 13 formed in the outer surface of the sleeve near one of the ends of the latter.
- friction coupling means designated by the general reference 14 are also interposed between this sleeve and the shaft to allow a braked rotation of the shaft relative to the sleeve, beyond a limit torque applied to this tree, in order to limit the degradations of this set.
- the sleeve 11 has a stepped axial recess of which a first portion 11a, extending opposite the locking means 13, is adapted to cooperate with the shaft 12 for guiding the sleeve 11 on the shaft and resumption of forces between the locking means 13 thereof and the shaft. Furthermore, a second portion 11b of this sleeve, of larger diameter than the first, is adapted to receive the friction coupling means 14 constituted for example by two corrugated friction rings 15 and 16.
- this sleeve makes it possible to dissociate the functions of friction coupling and of force recovery and of guiding the sleeve on the shaft.
- This sleeve is therefore perfectly maintained on the shaft and the bolt can no longer be released from the locking means. Furthermore, the transmission of forces between the bolt, the sleeve locking means, the sleeve and the shaft, is done directly by the first portion 11a of the sleeve bearing on the shaft, unlike the assemblies in the state of the technique, in which this transmission was done through friction rings.
- FIG. 4 another embodiment is shown in which the locking sleeve is designated by the general reference 17. This sleeve is placed on a shaft designated by the general reference 18.
- This sleeve always includes locking means adapted to cooperate with the bolt in the active position, constituted for example by axial grooves and designated by the general reference 19.
- This sleeve also comprises a stepped central recess comprising a first portion 17a, for guiding and taking up force and a second portion, of larger diameter, 17b, for receiving at least one friction ring 20.
- This second portion 17b of the sleeve overlaps, in this embodiment, the zone of the latter in which the locking means are provided and the first portion 17a of the latter then also constitutes in this case, a portion of reinforcement of this end of the sleeve, making it possible to prevent it from bursting during the forced mounting of this assembly, for the stressing of the ring 20 between the shaft and the wall of the sleeve delimiting the second recess portion of the latter.
- the locking means constituted by the grooves 13 and 19, open at one end of this sleeve and that the first recess portion of this- ci is formed opposite at least a portion of these grooves.
- the friction rings are arranged on a smooth portion of the shaft, the ring or rings being held in position during assembly, by a retractable abutment surface of the mounting tool, and the sleeve can be produced very easily for example by extrusion.
- locking means such as for example lights, as well as other friction coupling means, can be envisaged.
